Setup / Requirements

Software Required

  • SanjView7 (SV7) — V2.14 or later, obtained from the Microsanj network drive.
  • Python 3.9 — obtained from the Microsanj network drive.
  • Arduino (software) — obtained from the Microsanj network drive.
  • NI MAX — after activation/licensing.

Pre-Installation Conditions

  • The system must be up and running with SanjView7 later than V2.14.
  • A licensed copy of NI MAX must already be installed on the system.
  • The system must be able to map the Microsanj network drive in Windows Explorer as the Z: drive.
  • ⚠️ REDACTED: The original source document included a plaintext internal network-drive login and password at this step. That credential has been removed from this public-facing doc and must not be reproduced here. Internal staff should obtain current drive-mapping credentials through IT/the internal credential vault, not from this document.

Installing Python

  1. Copy the PythonInstall folder:
  2. From: Z:\000000_2023 NT220 EZ500 Installation Files\
  3. To local drive: C:\Software\
  4. If C:\Software does not exist, create a Software folder inside C:\ first, then place PythonInstall inside it.
  5. Install Python to the local drive:
  6. Double-click python-3.9.6-amd64 from C:\Software\PythonInstall\python-3.9.6-amd64.
  7. Check "Add Python 3.9 to PATH" in the installer popup.
  8. Click "Install Now".

(If Python is already installed, you can proceed with re-install or repair.)

  1. Activate/verify Python:
  2. Search for "Command Prompt" in the Windows search bar.
  3. Right-click and select "Run as administrator".
  4. Type python -V and press Enter.
  5. Confirm the output shows Python 3.9.6, confirming Python is installed and working.

If instead you see an error such as:

"Python was not found; run without arguments to install from Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases"

Open the Troubleshooting Continued for SanjVIEW Python document and follow Help 1) Troubleshoot python Assign Python Path.

  1. Set Python to run as Administrator:
  2. Search for "python" in the Windows search bar.
  3. Locate the Python 3.9 (64-bit) app and click Open File Location.
  4. Right-click the Python 3.9 (64-bit) shortcut, then click Open File Location again to reach the actual install folder.
  5. Right-click python.exe → Properties → Compatibility tab → check "Run as Administrator" → click OK.
  6. Repeat the same steps for pythonw.exe.

Installing SV7 and Python Packages

  1. Copy SV7 for Electrical Test to the local C: drive:
  2. If C:\Program Files\SanjVIEW already exists, only the selected "SanjVIEW — FOR ELECTRICAL TEST" applications need to be copied (not the whole folder).
  3. Step 1 — Copy "SanjVIEW — FOR ELECTRICAL TEST":
    • From: Z:\000000_2023 NT220 EZ500 Installation Files\
    • To: C:\Program Files\

  4. Step 2 — Rename the copied folder in C:\Program Files\:

    • From: SanjVIEW – FOR ELECTRICAL TEST
    • To: SanjVIEW

  5. Install Python commands and register the executable:

  6. Double-click SV7.exe under C:\Program Files\SanjVIEW to open it.
    • SV7 should be version 2.14 or later.
    • Refer to Troubleshooting in the EZ-THERM Installation Guide for issues such as: SV7 license (code generator), IP address, camera setup (SYSTEM CONFIG), or "Sanjview for Analysis Only" mode.
  7. Under the Measurements drop-down menu, click Auto-Measure.
  8. Under Set Up in the drop-down bar of the EZ500_Test.vi, click Initialize Python.
  9. Click the "1. Run Python Pip Install" button.
    • The Command Prompt will install the required packages and display progress; this can take up to several minutes.
  10. Close the Python_Install window when finished.

Installing Arduino Software

  1. Copy the "4. Arduino" folder:
  2. From: Z:\000000_2023 NT220 EZ500 Installation Files\0. NT220 New Setup\
  3. To: C:\Software\
  4. Double-click C:\Software\4. Arduino\Install arduino-1.8.8-windows.exe.
  5. Click Next, then Install.
  6. Click Close once complete.

Note: Arduino is activated once hardware testing is connected to the system under test.
